a flicer brush is not the same to a dandy as although the bristles are of the same material, they are longer, so when brushin your horse's body, loose hairs will come up and the flicer brush will brush the hair right of the horse's body into the air, instead of just moving it along the body.
The Dandy brush ( also called a stiff brush) is used after the curry comb and before the softer Body brush. To use the dandy brush you should sweep it in the same direction as the hair growth using firm , short strokes with a little upward flick at the end of each stroke. It is typically best not to use the dandy on the face or any super sensitive areas as it can be too rough. The body brush (also called a soft brush) is used as a final step in the grooming. You should use longer sweeping strokes with this brush as it lays the hair and brings the oils to the surface and spreads them to add a gloss to the coat. The body brush can be used anywhere on a horses body.
Same as a dandy Brush Go with the hairs and never against the hairs! I always use a movement that goes in a curved line from te top of the back to the belly. It gives the best result for me.
There are many different items to groom a horse with. Probably the most essential one is the hoof pick, which is used to remove debris from the horse's hoof. There is the currycomb, which is used in circular motions to loosen dirt and shedding hair from the horse. There is also a metal currycomb, which is used to clean other brushes, NOT the horse! There is the dandy brush, which as long and stiff bristles. Be careful not to use this hard, and not at all on thin-skinned horses. There is the body brush, which has shorter bristles and is softer than the dandy brush. There are numerous different grooming supplies. Make sure to select the ones that are best for the horse you're grooming : ). The main types of grooming equipment needed are: a curry comb, a dandy brush (same thing as a hard brush), a soft brush, a finishing brush, a face brush (and a face curry comb), a hoff pick and a shedding blade. Just remember to always groom your horse. You don't have to give it a full groom, but just brush it's coat so there is no dirt stuck to the hair (with using the curry comb), brush the dirt off (either dandy brush or soft brush), and pick the horse's feet (hoof pick).
It should be FINE and DANDY - it means the same as "fine," which is just saying everything is well.
To groom a Tennessee Walking Horse, start by brushing the horse's coat with a rubber curry comb to remove dirt and loose hair. Next, use a dandy brush to further clean the coat and a soft body brush for a finishing touch. Don't forget to pick out the horse's hooves and brush the mane and tail.

You start with a curry comb-use this in circular motions to loosen up dirt and mud (dont use this on the legs). Then use a dandy or stiff brush (they're the same thing) with a flicking motion of your wrist to flick the dirt off the coat (go in the direction of the coat with this brush) You may choose to folow up with a soft brush or a rag to wipe the smallest particles off and sort of polish the coat. You can use a face brush to brush the horses face too if you want. Then pick out the horses hooves to make sure nothing is stuck in there. You might also comb the mane and tail. I get by with just a stiff brush and hoof pick. The other supplies are just for a more thorough grooming and aren't really nesesary.
You can't level it p it stays the same level =]
